| Life
for Janab Manzurul Haque Sb, thus, was plunged into a fast track, which
saw him serving in a series of hotspots all across this vast
sub-continent. Despite the tearing commitments of an Armed Force career,
his unsparing love for academics however, continued pushing him, into
earning an LL.B degree, then a diploma in Management and later a further
diploma in International Trade Law.
Between various
command jobs, he had the opportunity of doing all kinds of staff-job,
which is akin to doing a secretarial job.
His legal acumen found recognition in that he was
assigned to hold the post of Law Officer of CRPF at Calcutta for five
years at a stretch. Then, came a spell of command job in the hottest
possible spots of Kashmir valley, before reverting back, after going
through due selection process, to assume the charge of the Chief Law
Officer (Judge Attorney General) of the National Security Guard (An
elite Force of India). It was then that he was awarded
Police Medal for Meritorious Service
in recognition of his past services. On return from NSG, he commanded
with some distinction, the regimental centre of CRPF called a Group
Centre, at Durgapur (West Bengal, India), for nearly two years and then
opted for a premature retirement from the rank of Deputy Inspector
General (DIG) to pursue his secret desires, some of which are: writing
creatively, and doing some legal and some social work.
As a poet: He has
published two small books of English poems, entitled “Simurg" and “Not
the same as you”. Simurg was published, when he was in service and was
translated by him in Hindi as an original work. The numerous jawans and
officers of the CRPF purchased its copies. Simurg was also translated in
Bangla by someone, when he was in Durgapur and the book was quite a sell
out in the civil society. “Not the same as you” is his latest work which
he has not been able to circulate due to paucity of time. Only three /
four copies were sent to some VIPs who have appreciated the work. A copy
of Mr. M.J.Akbar’s letter of appreciation is produced. |
